Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomBackground music in the bar was terrible radio station despite it being Christmas. Boxing Day evening buffet was limited and expensive . Disco and DJ came to celebrate Christmas and Boxing Day but the few guests were all of a certain age and did not participate, where a pianist would have been better. Also I got the impression that there was some miscommunication between kitchen staff and reception and times when the restaurant/ kitchen was understaffed.
Great location. Spacious characterful bedroom which was well- serviced and friendly helpful staff. Christmas Eve diner and Christmas Day lunch were really good.

United KingdomMy room was noisy as it was over some sort of generator & near the binstores which were collected just after 5 am. That happens, the building has to run. There was a load of crazy banging sometime after midnight though, probably 2ish. Sounded like someone trying to get in. That was the only thing that was annoying, otherwise all good. Would definitely stay again.
Lovely hotel, nice room, not luxurious, but very comfortable. Very comfortable bed, great location & a beautiful building. Staff were nice & friendly, but the systems were down. Thankfully I had prepaid. Well located for a walk to the Cathedral.

SpainAs mentioned above
We have stayed at the hotel back in 2016. The hotel is really nice, the old features makes it warm & cosy. The staff were very friendly & accomodating. The breakfast was really nice & plenty full too. I think a little more needs to be done regarding the cleanliness of the place if I'm honest, bar area mainly as the smell of stale beer & sticky uncleaned / unmopped floors isn't a good experience. The beds were not made for 2 nights of our stay with shower gel ect not replenished either in the bathroom. There were a couple of Xmas parties going on so staff might have been a factor here, but non of it took too much away from our stay. The overall experience was really good & would not deter us from staying again in the future. Thanks Guys.

United KingdomThe night of the xmas party we found the drink selection to be poor but we made it work. The plumbing system in the suite was awful! Just cleaning my teeth the water would sit in the sink for a mi ute or two before finally going down the plug. The toilet blocked just having a wee. I think this is just down to the age of the building though so nothing can be done to rectify it. We couldn't shower as the towels smelt not clean. We didn't bother asking for more as we had to check out. The breakfast was not great, we kept having to ask for things eg butter for toast, sugar for tea, water, the continental looked like it had been out all day as the meat was a brown colour. The toast was burnt. This is not what i expected for a high end hotel. The WiFi did not work in our suite.
The twin room was a suite so we were pleasantly surprised. It is oldy worldy but it is nice. The Xmas party and disco was great on the Friday night.
